Description

La présente invention concerne un bouton de condamnation de porte de véhicule.The present invention relates to a vehicle door locking button.

Il est connu sur les véhicules de monter à l'intérieur de la porte un bouton de condamnation de porte sur l'extrémité de la tringle qui commande cette condamnation. Cette tringle circule dans l'espace intérieur de la porte entre la garniture intérieure et l'enveloppe extérieure de la porte. Ce type de bouton est monté directement sur la tringle et selon les variations de dimensions de celle-ci dépasse plus ou moins de la garniture intérieure de la porte.It is known on vehicles to mount inside the door a door locking button on the end of the rod which controls this locking. This rod runs in the interior space of the door between the interior trim and the exterior envelope of the door. This type of button is mounted directly on the rod and according to the variations in dimensions of the latter more or less protrudes from the interior trim of the door.

Un premier but de l'invention est de proposer un bouton de condamnation de porte monté dans un guide clipsable sur la garniture intérieure de porte, le bouton étant autoréglable, de façon à ce que sa position par rapport au guide soit indépendante de la longueur de la tige de commande de la condamnation de la porte.A first object of the invention is to provide a door locking button mounted in a guide which can be clipped onto the interior door trim, the button being self-adjusting, so that its position relative to the guide is independent of the length of the door locking control rod.

Ce but est atteint par le fait que le bouton de condamnation de porte comportant un guide clipsable sur la garniture intérieure de porte et un bouton coulissant dans le guide, ledit bouton étant rendu solidaire de la tige de commande de la condamnation de porte par une agrafe est caractérisé en ce que l'agrafe est constituée d'une pièce en matière élastique dont la section est en forme de U et dont les jambes latérales du U se prolongent dans un sens longitudinal par des languettes souples disposées en vis-à-vis et comportant sur leur face disposée en vis-à-vis une denture destinée à venir s'emboîter dans une denture similaire formée par une frappe à froid sur un méplat de la tige de commande, ledit bouton comportant un logement de section en forme de U dans lequel l'agrafe coulisse.This object is achieved by the fact that the door locking button comprising a guide which can be clipped onto the interior door trim and a button sliding in the guide, said button being made integral with the door locking control rod by a clip. is characterized in that the clip consists of a piece of elastic material whose cross-section is U-shaped and whose lateral legs of the U are extended in a longitudinal direction by flexible tongues arranged opposite and comprising on their face disposed opposite a toothing intended to come to fit into a similar toothing formed by a cold stamping on a flat part of the control rod, said button comprising a U-shaped section housing in which the clip slides.

Selon une autre particularité, l'agrafe comporte un pont reliant les extrémités des jambes du U et des moyens, pour en appuyant sur le bouton, provoquer le déplacement de l'agrafe entre une première position où l'agrafe est simplement prise sur la tige et une deuxième position où l'agrafe est solidaire de la tige.In another feature, the clip has a bridge connecting the ends of the legs of the U and means, by pressing the button, cause the displacement of the clip between a first position where the clip is simply taken on the rod and a second position where the clip is secured to the rod.

Selon une autre particularité, le bouton comporte un rétrécissement de la section en U pour permettre aux languettes élastiques de l'agrafe de serrer la denture de la tige lorsque l'agrafe est dans la deuxième position.In another feature, the button has a narrowing of the U-section to allow the elastic tabs of the clip to tighten the toothing of the rod when the clip is in the second position.

Selon une autre particularité, le bouton comporte dans la partie centrale de la section en U et à l'extrémité opposée à l'extrémité comportant un bossage ayant une forme facilitant la manipulation par un doigt, deux encoches matérialisant les première et deuxième positions dans lesquelles s'emboîte l'extrémité d'un ergot formé sur une languette élastique solidaire de la partie centrale du U de l'agrafe.According to another particularity, the button comprises in the central part of the U-shaped section and at the end opposite the end comprising a boss having a shape facilitating manipulation by a finger, two notches materializing the first and second positions in which fits the end of a lug formed on an elastic tongue secured to the central part of the U of the clip.

Selon une autre particularité, l'agrafe en U comporte à proximité de l'extrémité opposée aux languettes et sur l'extérieur du U des ailettes de guidage qui coulissent dans des rainures formées sur le fond du bouton.According to another particular feature, the U-shaped clip has, near the end opposite the tabs and on the outside of the U, guide fins which slide in grooves formed on the bottom of the button.

Selon une autre particularité, le guide comporte deux ouvertures longitudinales destinées à recevoir des ailes formées sur un pont reliant les extrémités supérieures du bouton en forme de U.According to another feature, the guide has two longitudinal openings intended to receive wings formed on a bridge connecting the upper ends of the U-shaped button.

Un autre but de l'invention est de proposer une amélioration au dispositif ci-dessus pour permettre un démontage de l'agrafe sans pour autant risquer de détériorer celle-ci.Another object of the invention is to propose an improvement to the above device to allow disassembly of the clip without risking damaging it.

Selon une première variante, ce but est atteint par le fait que l'agrafe comporte entre les jambes du U et au niveau de la languette des épaulements formés en vis-à-vis l'un de l'autre et espacés de la languette d'une distance suffisante pour permettre le dégagement de l'ergot des encoches du bouton.According to a first variant, this object is achieved by the fact that the clip comprises between the legs of the U and at the level of the tongue shoulders formed opposite one another and spaced from the tongue a sufficient distance to allow the release of the lug from the notches in the button.

Selon une deuxième variante, le second but est également atteint et cette variante permet également des démontages et remontages de l'ensemble sans risque de détériorer l'agrafe.According to a second variant, the second object is also achieved and this variant also allows disassembly and reassembly of the assembly without risk of damaging the clip.

Selon cette deuxième variante, la languette ergot est plus large que l'espacement les jambes du U et les jambes du U se prolongent au niveau de la languette en formant une chicane orientée vers l'extérieur de façon à former d'une part un épaulement pour la languette et d'autre part des surfaces de guidage sur le bouton.According to this second variant, the lug tongue is wider than the spacing the legs of the U and the legs of the U extend at the level of the tongue by forming a baffle oriented towards the outside so as to form on the one hand a shoulder for the tongue and on the other hand guide surfaces on the button.

Un autre but est également d'éviter une extraction intempestive du bouton hors du guide.Another aim is also to avoid untimely extraction of the button from the guide.

Ce but est atteint par le fait que le guide comporte une languette centrale dans les ouvertures de guidage des ailes du bouton, destinée à venir en butée sur un épaulement du pont reliant les ailes du bouton pour former une butée limitant les déplacements du bouton dans le sens de l'extraction.This object is achieved by the fact that the guide has a central tongue in the guide openings of the button wings, intended to come into abutment on a shoulder of the bridge connecting the button wings to form a stop limiting the movements of the button in the sense of extraction.

Un autre but est également de permettre une visualisation plus facile de l'agrafage correct.Another object is also to allow easier viewing of the correct stapling.

Ce but est atteint par le fait que l'agrafe est de couleur contrastée par rapport au bouton.This object is achieved by the fact that the clip is of a contrasting color with respect to the button.

L'invention est constituée, comme représenté à la figure 1 d'un guide (4) qui se clipse sur une découpe de la garniture intérieure de la porte au sommet de l'arrondi de celle-ci qui se trouve adjacent à la vitre, d'une agrafe (2) qui vient coulisser dans un bouton (3) et à l'intérieur de laquelle vient se loger une tige (1) de commande du verrouillage de la porte. L'agrafe (2) est constituée d'une pièce en matière plastique moulée ayant substantiellement une section en forme de U constituée par une partie centrale (20) et des jambes latérales (21, 22). Cette pièce à section en forme de U se prolonge longitudinalement par des languettes (210, 220) qui comportent sur les faces tournées vers l'intérieur une indentation (221, 211) destinée à venir coopérer avec l'indentation (11) pratiquée par un estampage à froid sur un méplat de la tige (10) de commande. Dans la portion centrale de l'agrafe (2) et en vis-à-vis de la partie centrale (20) est formé un pont (23) qui permet de donner à cette agrafe une rigidité suffisante dans sa partie centrale. L'agrafe (2) se prolonge vers sa partie inférieure, c'est-à-dire l'extrémité opposée aux languettes (210, 220) par, d'une part une languette de clipsage (201) solidaire de la partie centrale (20) et, d'autre part sur les jambes latérales (21, 22) par des ailettes (212, respectivement 222) qui sont destinées à coulisser dans les rainures (312, respectivement 322) du bouton (3). Le bouton (3) ayant été représenté selon une coupe longitudinale passant par son axe de symétrie, la rainure (312) appartient à la partie non visible de l'autre moitié du bouton (3). Ce bouton (3) est constitué d'une section principale en forme de U formée par la partie centrale (30) et les jambes latérales (32) et (31 non visible). Cette section se prolonge vers le haut du bouton par une forme en godet dont la paroi extérieure (302) adjacente à la partie centrale (30) permet, par son arrondi, la préhension par un doigt de l'utilisateur. La paroi extérieure supérieure (303) du godet a un arrondi qui correspond à l'arrondi de l'élément guide et de la partie supérieure de la garniture intérieure de la porte. L'extrémité du bouton (3) opposée à la forme en godet comporte des rainures (322) visibles disposées dans le côté (32) et (312) non visibles disposées respectivement dans le côté (31) non visible . Ces rainures permettent le coulissement des ailes (222, 212) de l'agrafe. Les jambes latérales du bouton (32, 31) comportent à proximité du godet une rampe (321, 311) formant un rétrécissement de l'espace situé entre les deux jambes (32, 31) du bouton. Ce rétrécissement permet le pincement des languettes élastiques (220, 210), pincement qui permettra le serrage de ces languettes sur la partie dentée (11) de la tige. La partie inférieure de la portion centrale du bouton (30) comporte deux encoches (301a, 301b) pour permettre le clipsage de la languette (201) de l'agrafe (2) dans l'une de ces deux encoches. Le bouton comporte dans sa partie où l'espace entre les jambes est rétréci, c'est-à-dire au niveau des surfaces parallèles (323, 313) un pont (330) qui se prolonge vers le haut par deux ailes (33a et 33b, figure 4). Ces ailes (33, 34) sont destinées à rentrer dans l'évidement (402) du guide-bouton (4). Les ailes (33a et 33b) seront guidées par une rainure (401) qui est pratiquée dans le guide le long de l'axe de symétrie de ce guide. Le guide (4) est représenté également en coupe et comporte un évidement en forme de U formé par les flancs (42, 41, figure 4) et la partie centrale (40). Cet évidement se prolonge latéralement et vers le bas pour une lèvre (432) par les lèvres (415, 435, figure 4) et vers le haut par la lèvre (404) qui est destinée à venir s'appuyer sur la garniture intérieure de la porte. La partie centrale du guide (40) comporte un ergot (403) tourné vers l'intérieur du U. A l'extrémité inférieure de la partie centrale de l'évidement en U la lèvre (432) se prolonge vers l'intérieur par une forme en équerre formant une surface (43) perpendiculaire à la direction de déplacement du bouton (3) représentée par la flèche D et une surface de guidage (431) parallèle à la direction de déplacement de la surface centrale (30) du bouton. La dimension du bouton (3) est adaptée pour que l'extrémité de la surface (30) vienne en appui sur la surface (431) lorsque les ailes (33a, 33b) sont placées dans les évidements (402a, 402b).The invention consists, as shown in FIG. 1, of a guide (4) which clips onto a cutout of the interior trim of the door at the top of the rounded portion thereof which is located adjacent to the window, a clip (2) which slides in a button (3) and inside which is housed a rod (1) for controlling the locking of the door. The clip (2) consists of a molded plastic part having a substantially U-shaped section formed by a central part (20) and side legs (21, 22). This U-shaped section piece is extended longitudinally by tabs (210, 220) which have on the faces facing inward an indentation (221, 211) intended to cooperate with the indentation (11) practiced by a cold stamping on a flat part of the control rod (10). In the central portion of the clip (2) and facing the central part (20) is formed a bridge (23) which makes it possible to give this clip sufficient rigidity in its central part. The clip (2) extends towards its lower part, that is to say the end opposite to the tongues (210, 220) by, on the one hand, a clipping tab (201) integral with the central part ( 20) and, on the other hand on the lateral legs (21, 22) by fins (212, respectively 222) which are intended to slide in the grooves (312, respectively 322) of the button (3). The button (3) having been shown in a longitudinal section passing through its axis of symmetry, the groove (312) belongs to the non-visible part of the other half of the button (3). This button (3) consists of a main U-shaped section formed by the central part (30) and the side legs (32) and (31 not visible). This section is extended towards the top of the button by a bucket shape whose outer wall (302) adjacent to the central part (30) allows, by its rounded shape, the gripping by a finger of the user. The upper external wall (303) of the bucket has a rounding which corresponds to the rounding of the guide element and of the upper part of the interior lining of the door. The end of the button (3) opposite the cup shape has visible grooves (322) arranged in the side (32) and (312) not visible, respectively arranged in the side (31) not visible. These grooves allow the wings (222, 212) of the clip to slide. The lateral legs of the button (32, 31) have, near the bucket, a ramp (321, 311) forming a narrowing of the space located between the two legs (32, 31) of the button. This narrowing allows the elastic tongues (220, 210) to be pinched, pinching which will allow these tongues to be tightened on the toothed part (11) of the rod. The lower part of the central portion of the button (30) has two notches (301a, 301b) to allow the clip (201) of the clip (2) to be clipped into one of these two notches. The button has in its part where the space between the legs is narrowed, that is to say at the level of the parallel surfaces (323, 313) a bridge (330) which is extended upwards by two wings (33a and 33b, Figure 4). These wings (33, 34) are intended to enter the recess (402) of the button guide (4). The wings (33a and 33b) will be guided by a groove (401) which is formed in the guide along the axis of symmetry of this guide. The guide (4) is also shown in section and comprises a U-shaped recess formed by the sides (42, 41, FIG. 4) and the central part (40). This recess extends laterally and downwards for a lip (432) through the lips (415, 435, FIG. 4) and upwards through the lip (404) which is intended to come to bear on the inner lining of the door. The central part of the guide (40) has a lug (403) facing inside the U. At the lower end of the central part of the U-shaped recess, the lip (432) is extended towards the inside by a square shape forming a surface (43) perpendicular to the direction of movement of the button (3) represented by arrow D and a guide surface (431) parallel to the direction of movement of the central surface (30) of the button. The dimension of the button (3) is adapted so that the end of the surface (30) comes to bear on the surface (431) when the wings (33a, 33b) are placed in the recesses (402a, 402b).

Dans cette variante de réalisation, l'agrafe (2) est glissée dans le bouton (3) et les ailettes (312, 322) maintiennent cette agrafe en place. Le bouton (3) associé à son agrafe (2) est ensuite monté dans le guide (4). Enfin, l'ensemble guide-bouton-agrafe est monté sur la garniture de porte qui comporte déjà la tige (10) de commande à son intérieur. La tige (10) pénètre dans l'espace laissé libre entre les jambes (22, 21) de l'agrafe (2) et l'opérateur de montage, en appuyant sur l'ensemble, permet, d'une part la mise en place du guide (4) sur la garniture et en appuyant sur le bouton (3) assure le déplacement relatif de l'agrafe (2) qui vient en butée par le pont (23) sur l'ergot (403) par rapport au bouton (3). Ce déplacement relatif provoque le passage de la languette (201) de l'agrafe (2) de l'encoche (301a) à l'encoche (301b), passage qui assure en même temps le serrage des languettes (220, 210) sur la partie dentée (11) de la tige (10). De cette façon, un positionnement relatif autoréglable est assuré entre le guide en appui sur la garniture intérieure de la porte, la tige et le bouton de commande du verrouillage.In this alternative embodiment, the clip (2) is slid into the button (3) and the fins (312, 322) hold this clip in place. The button (3) associated with its clip (2) is then mounted in the guide (4). Finally, the guide-button-clip assembly is mounted on the door trim which already has the control rod (10) inside. The rod (10) enters the space left free between the legs (22, 21) of the clip (2) and the mounting operator, by pressing on the assembly, allows, on the one hand the setting place of the guide (4) on the lining and pressing the button (3) ensures the relative movement of the clip (2) which abuts by the bridge (23) on the lug (403) relative to the button (3). This relative movement causes the tongue (201) to pass from the clip (2) from the notch (301a) to the notch (301b), a passage which at the same time ensures the tightening of the tongues (220, 210) on the toothed part (11) of the rod (10). In this way, a self-adjusting relative positioning is ensured between the guide resting on the interior trim of the door, the rod and the locking control button.

Dans cette position, les encoches (301a, 301b) permettent de voir la position de l'agrafe et de s'assurer que la languette (201) est bien clipsée dans une des deux encoches. Dans le cas contraire, l'opérateur exerce à nouveau une pression vers le bas sur le bouton (3) pour permettre la mise en place correcte de l'agrafe (2) sur la tige (101) et sa solidarisation avec le bouton.In this position, the notches (301a, 301b) make it possible to see the position of the clip and to ensure that the tongue (201) is properly clipped into one of the two notches. Otherwise, the operator again exerts a downward pressure on the button (3) to allow the correct positioning of the clip (2) on the rod (101) and its attachment to the button.

La figure 2 représente une première variante de l'agrafe dans laquelle les jambes de la section en U de l'agrafe (2) comportent sur leur surface intérieure des ergots (223, 213) qui servent de surface d'appui pour la languette de clipsage (201). Cette variante permet d'éviter, lors des démontages de l'ensemble pour des raisons de maintenance du véhicule, de risquer de casser la languette (201) et donc d'avoir à changer l'agrafe (2). La distance entre les épaulements (213, 223) et la languette (201) est étudiée pour permettre le dégagement de la languette des encoches (301, 302) de façon à permettre le coulissement de l'agrafe (2) dans le bouton (3).2 shows a first variant of the clip in which the legs of the U-shaped section of the clip (2) have on their inner surface lugs (223, 213) which serve as a bearing surface for the tongue of clipping (201). This variant makes it possible to avoid, during dismantling of the assembly for reasons of vehicle maintenance, risking breaking the tongue (201) and therefore having to change the clip (2). The distance between the shoulders (213, 223) and the tongue (201) is studied to allow the release of the tongue from the notches (301, 302) so as to allow the staple (2) to slide in the button (3 ).

La figure 3 représente une deuxième variante de l'agrafe (2) et une modification des rainures du bouton (3) de guidage de l'agrafe (2). Dans cette variante, l'agrafe (2) comporte sur les jambes (21, 22) du U une modification consistant à prolonger ces jambes en forme de chicane vers l'extérieur, de façon à former un élargissement de l'agrafe au voisinnage de la languette (201) qui prolonge la partie centrale (20). La languette (201) est également d'une largeur correspondant substantiellement à la largeur de la partie centrale de façon à ce que cette languette vienne en appui contre les épaulements (2220, 2120) formant les chicanes (222, 212) des jambes (22, 21) du U. La hauteur des rainures (322,312) est adaptée à la hauteur de la portion de jambe (21, 22) du U séparant l'extrémité de la jambe de l'épaulement (2220, 2120) formant la chicane. Cette variante permet un renforcement de la languette (201) et un meilleur guidage de l'agrafe (2) dans le bouton (3). Les languettes de clipsage ou l'ensemble de l'agrafe pourront être constitués en matériau de couleur contrastant avec le matériau formant le bouton. Le guide (4) et le bouton (3) sont également moulés en matière plastique. Cette différence de couleurs permet ainsi de mieux localiser la position de l'agrafe (2) dans l'une des deux encoches (301A, 301B) et de s'assurer ainsi de la solidarisation correcte de la tige (10) avec l'ensemble bouton (3) - agrafe (2) lors des manipulations d'essai du bouton de commande.FIG. 3 represents a second variant of the clip (2) and a modification of the grooves of the button (3) for guiding the clip (2). In this variant, the clip (2) comprises on the legs (21, 22) of the U a modification consisting in extending these legs in the form of a baffle towards the outside, so as to form an enlargement of the clip in the vicinity of the tongue (201) which extends the central part (20). The tongue (201) is also of a width corresponding substantially to the width of the central part so that this tongue comes to bear against the shoulders (2220, 2120) forming the baffles (222, 212) of the legs (22 , 21) of the U. The height of the grooves (322,312) is adapted to the height of the leg portion (21, 22) of the U separating the end of the leg from the shoulder (2220, 2120) forming the baffle. This variant allows reinforcement of the tongue (201) and better guidance of the clip (2) in the button (3). Clipping tabs or the entire clip may be made of material in a color contrasting with the material forming the button. The guide (4) and the button (3) are also molded from plastic. This difference in color thus makes it possible to better locate the position of the clip (2) in one of the two notches (301A, 301B) and thus to ensure the correct connection of the rod (10) with the assembly. button (3) - clip (2) during the test manipulations of the control button.

La figure 4 représente une variante de réalisation du guide (4) et du bouton permettant d'éviter des désolidarisations intempestives du bouton (3) par rapport au guide (4) dans le cas où l'agrafage n'aurait pas été effectué correctement sur la tige. Cette variante comporte, dans la partie centrale (40) et au centre des évidements (402a, 402b) une languette (406) qui est destinée à venir en butée sur un épaulement (332) formé sur la partie centrale (330) qui relie les ailettes (33a, 33b) de guidage de l'extrémité supérieure du bouton (3) dans le guide (4). Cet épaulement (332) et la dimension de la languette (406) sont étudiés pour que la languette (406) soit en butée sur l'épaulement (332) lorsque l'extrémité supérieure du bouton (3) formant la surface (303) se trouve dans le plan de la lèvre (404).FIG. 4 represents an alternative embodiment of the guide (4) and of the button making it possible to avoid untimely detachment of the button (3) from the guide (4) in the event that stapling has not been carried out correctly on the stem. This variant comprises, in the central part (40) and in the center of the recesses (402a, 402b) a tongue (406) which is intended to come into abutment on a shoulder (332) formed on the central part (330) which connects the fins (33a, 33b) for guiding the upper end of the button (3) in the guide (4). This shoulder (332) and the dimension of the tongue (406) are studied so that the tongue (406) is in abutment on the shoulder (332) when the upper end of the button (3) forming the surface (303) is found in the plane of the lip (404).

Dans une autre variante de l'invention, l'agrafe peut être constituée d'une matière métallique, telle que par exemple de l'acier ressort, ayant une élasticité donnée pour permettre la déformation élastique des languettes souples, et d'un autre côté une rigidité suffisante pour les dents obtenues par découpe et pliage ou par des crevés formés dans les languettes.In another variant of the invention, the clip can be made of a metallic material, such as for example spring steel, having a given elasticity to allow the elastic deformation of the flexible tongues, and on the other hand sufficient rigidity for the teeth obtained by cutting and folding or by punctures formed in the tongues.

D'autres modifications à la portée de l'homme de métier font également partie de l'esprit de l'invention.Other modifications within the reach of the skilled person are also part of the spirit of the invention.
